You need to have this!

Brothers and Sisters,

We’ve been working to put together classes for members who need certifications in order to be dispatched. Currently, the required certifications for Commercial Painters are:

• Fall Protection
• Booms and Lifts
• Harassment Training

The reason I’m bringing this up is because starting next year, the dispatch requirements for Commercial Painters will change to:

• OSHA 10
• Scaffold Training

So if you still need the current certifications, please take action sooner rather than later.

The same goes for Industrial Painters. Right now, the required certifications to be dispatched are:

• OSHA 10
• Scaffold Training

But starting next year, the requirements will change to:

• Fall Protection
• Booms and Lifts
• Harassment Training

This is just a reminder to start signing up for STAR classes now and make sure you have all the certifications you’ll need for 2026.

In Solidarity,
William Gonzalez
